How to Keep Your Hands Warm While Working: A Friendly Guide for People with Raynaud’s

If you’ve ever sat at your desk and felt your fingers slowly turn into little ice cubes, you know the struggle is real - especially if you deal with Raynaud’s syndrome. Cold hands can make typing, clicking, or even holding your coffee mug a challenge. But don’t worry! With a few simple tweaks, you can keep your hands cozy and your workflow smooth.

Let’s talk about some practical ways to warm things up - plus, one surprisingly easy solution that might just become your new favorite desk accessory.

1. Start by Warming Up Your Core

Here’s a fun fact: keeping yourcore warm actually helps your hands stay warm too. When your body feels chilly, it focuses on protecting vital organs, meaning less blood flow to your fingers.

A few easy fixes:

  • Layer up with a soft undershirt or light sweater.

  • Try fingerless gloves or compression gloves - perfect for typing without freezing.

  • Keep a cozy blanket or shawl nearby for those extra-cold mornings.

Little layers go a long way toward keeping your whole body happy.

2. Keep a Warm Drink Close By

Never underestimate the power of a warm mug between your hands. Whether it’s coffee, tea, or hot cocoa, a warm drink helpsraise your body temperature and gives your fingers a mini heat therapy session.

Pro tip: Get amug warmer for your desk. That way, your drink (and your hands) stay warm for hours. It’s a small comfort that makes a big difference.

3. Make Your Workspace a Warm Space

Before you bundle up like an arctic explorer, check your room temperature. You might be surprised how much it matters.

  • Aim for around (20–22°C).

  • Add a small space heater under your desk for a gentle heat boost.

  • Seal up drafts around windows and doors to stop cold air from sneaking in.

A few small changes can turn your chilly office into a cozy corner of productivity.

4. Move Around and Stretch

Cold hands love movement! Sitting still for too long can make circulation worse, so give your hands (and the rest of your body) some love during the day.

Every hour or so, take a quick movement break:

  • Roll your wrists.

  • Open and close your fists a few times.

  • Shake out your fingers.

Even a short walk or some gentle stretching can help warm your blood and keep it flowing.
